i also want to mention Donation based/ads(if not too intrusive) are also fine ig.
and sometimes(depends on country) your only option is monthly subscription (whatever its rent or internet price) you can find for sale buts its like in the millions and i think internet price is monthly only.
but yeah i dislike monthly subscription as much as you(and i agree with you)
i could use a Freemium service that has a monthly subscription too,but i wont buy the subscription.
but obviously i prefer perpetual license the most.
maybe if it was a one time purchase.
I hear you - a one off purchase (or a $50-100 for 5yrs) would be a selling point. Hell, I’d even buy credits like I do for USENET.

Just let me pay in one lump sum. Not a fan of rolling subscriptions; never end up using the whole quota, so unless there’s a rollover it gets wasted.

I’m not against a subscription for something like this. Kagi has ongoing server costs, I think it’s only fair that users pay on an ongoing basis.
As opposed to, say, Office where the software can be more or less “finished” and I don’t need or want updates.
